SMOKE AND CINDER CONVEYER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 570,315, dated October27', 1896.

Application filed April 8, 1896. Serial N0. 586,634. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that 1, WILSON H. LARIMORE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Girard, in the county of Crawford and State of Kansas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Smoke and CinderConveyers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention has relation to smoke and cinder conveyers forrailway-trains, and more particularly to that class which are applied tothe outside of passenger-coaches to prevent the dust, dirt,smoke,cinders, and sparks entering the coach through the ventilators oropen windows when the train is in motion; and the object is to provide asimple, practical and effective device for this purpose; and to theseends the novelty consists in the construction, combination, andarrangement of the several parts of the same, as will be hereinaftermore fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings the same letters of reference indicate thesame parts of the invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a passenger-coach provided with myimproved dust and smoke-conveyer. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same.Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section, and Fig. 4 is a longitudinalhorizontal section, of the same.

The numeral 5represents a modern railway passenger-coach.

6 is a flaring-mouthed hood, one of each being connected to each end ofthe coach, and the central portion 7 of these hoods extends across thetop of the coach at each end and are formed with downwardly-projectingside wings 8 8, the lower ends of which are connected on each side witha longitudinal bottomless chute 9, and at their tops by a horizontalopen-top chute 10.

of the coach, one on each side of the ventilators, and their open endscommunicate with the hoods central portion 7 of hoods 6, and thesechutes 16 16 also have open tops and downwardly-projecting inclinedflanges 17, which form a passage for the smoke and dirt and prevent itentering the ventilators located in the roof.

When the car is in motion, the forward flanged hoods and the conduit orpassage for the cinders, smoke, and dust, carry it past the windows tothe rear of the car, as shown by the arrows.

Having thus fully described my invention, what Iclaim as new and useful,and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s-

1. A smoke-conveyer for railway-coaches, comprising a flaring-mouthedhood having an inwardly-projecting flange, and downwardlyeXtending sidewings provided with inwardlyprojecting flanges, substantially as shownand described. 7 g

2. A smoke-conveyer for railway-co.aches, comprising a flaring-mouthedhood and downwardly-extending side wings, in combination with thelongitudinally-extending top and bottom chutes, located respectively onthe sides of the car above and below the windows thereof, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

WILSON H. LARIMORE.
